The director of a corporate service provider in Singapore was fined S$6,500 for misusing identity in appointing a director for three companies.

The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) found that she failed to confirm consent prior to incorporation, relying on a third party instead.

ACRA has canceled her registration, emphasizing that misuse of identities for director appointments is taken seriously.

Singapore plans stricter regulations for corporate service providers, including mandatory registration with ACRA and penalties for breaches of anti-money laundering obligations.
